[Verse 1]
People should smile more
I'm not saying there's nothing to cry for
But you've got everything laid out for you
Just close your eyes, take a deep breath, and start another war

[Pre-Chorus]
Keep buying, keep moving
This city is sitting
Next to me, we'll lay it out
It's gonna come, one thing is certain

[Chorus]
I can't change the world
'Cause trying to make a difference makes it worse
It's just an observation I can't ignore
That people should smile more

[Verse 2]
And people should smile more
But the lights are so bright that they blind you
Just one more meaningless scientific breakthrough
The more we know, the less we care what's damaged on the way

[Pre-Chorus]
Keep moving, keep buying
This city is sitting
Next to me, we'll lay it out
It's gonna come, one thing is certain
[Chorus]
I can't change the world
'Cause trying to make a difference makes it worse
It's just an observation I can't ignore
That people could smile more
People should smile more

[Scat Singing]

[Chorus]
I can't change the world
'Cause trying to make a difference makes it worse
It's just an observation I can't ignore
That people could smile more
People should smile more
I can't change the world
'Cause trying to make a difference makes it worse
It's just an observation I can't ignore
But people could smile more
People should smile more
